Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

I am using the video card Nvidia 7600 Go, and I got the game installed fine and everything perfect, until I try and run the game. When I try to run the game it says Unable to load 3D Acceleration, when I try to run the game without it the cinematic video is very choppy and it will freeze up if I hit esc.

Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

WoW will run best using OSS. Run 'winecfg', select 'Audio', then select 'OSS Driver' as Wine's sound driver. Make sure no other driver is selected.

Next, add the following to the file WTF/Config.WTF in your WoW directory.

Code:

SET SoundOutputSystem "1"
SET SoundBufferSize "100"
SET gxApi "OpenGL"

Ok, I did that first little bit, but I can't figure out what to do next. I'm pretty much a complete noob here. Where do I find that file/how do I add to it? I don't have a WTF directory in my WoW directory. I've tried running WoW, and everything works so far, except there's no sound, so I assume this is the problem. Thanks!

Reason: clarifying

Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

Ok, I think I figured out the problem. I was looking in the directory where I put the files from the CDs, not the directory where WoW was installed to. The problem is, I don't know how to find the folder where WoW was installed to, because I can't figure out where wine put it. I used the default folder that wine wanted to use, would that be the same for everyone? According to wine, it's in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft. Does that help?
